OUR EXPERIENCE MAKES US DIFFERENT

Our team is experienced. And our experience extends well beyond recruiting. Affiliate team members have been senior executives in large corporations, founded companies, been successful CEOs, grown businesses, worked internationally, been integral in high-growth startups, and been accountable to investors and boards of directors.

Why does this matter to you? Because we have been in your shoes. We know what finding the “right hire” really means. We know how important it is for candidates to fit your corporate culture. We understand how much having a key role open for a period of time costs your company. All because we’ve been there. That is what makes us different from well-known search firms. We treat every open position with the urgency it deserves. And we do our very best to pre-screen the candidates for skills and fit so you will only see qualified applicants for your openings. And that makes us different from internet job sites. Experience matters, and we have it and apply it to your critical hires.

ABOUT STRINGER EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Executive search has not changed for decades. High retainers and slow processes continue to be the norm for well-known search firms. Internet services flood you with unscreened candidates. You need better recruiting results and Stringer Search is ready to provide them for you. We are a team made up of elite recruiters. Together we're changing the rules of recruiting so you can count on hiring better talent, faster, and for less. How can we do that for you? We call it the Five "Rs" of Recruiting.

Responsive

When we meet with hiring managers and execs like you, we always hear the same thing. Your position needs to be filled yesterday. We understand that. That’s why we meet with you a.s.a.p. to get a full briefing on the job requirements and ideal candidate. That ensures that you start seeing the right kind of candidates sooner. Some of our clients can tell you that we were able to present them with good candidates on the same day we met. That’s rapid response!

Relevance

Stringer Search is different. We’re made up of a community of elite expert recruiting affiliates. Why does that matter to you? Each of our affiliates has experience in your industry. As such you can rest assured we understand what it takes to succeed in your business. Because we know your industry, we also know people from your industry and that can help us find the ideal candidate, faster.

Relationships

Relationships in recruiting matter. With you and with the candidates we find for you. Filling your open position is important to us. The sourcing process will start immediately by tapping into our networks and using technology to match the right talent to your need. Part of our process is to actively screen the candidates before you see them to make sure you see the best. You’ll hear from us continuously throughout the process so you’ll always know the status. We value our relationship with the candidates too. Even if you don’t hire them they may be a perfect candidate for another company in the future so we want to make sure their experience is good too.

Reasonable

Because we are a community of affiliated executive search professionals we don’t need fancy offices. We work virtually. We share back office and recruiting technology. That allows all of us to use the latest technology to help with sourcing and screening. Our process is efficient and our overhead is low. You’ll get better, faster results, for less than any of the “big name” executive search firms can offer.

Results

None of this matters if you don’t hire the best talent for your open position. Our track record speaks for itself. Time and time again for companies just like yours, filling the same kinds of positions, our process has produced great candidates quickly. And you can see this for yourself by looking at the testimonials here.

I couldn’t have been happier with our search for a V.P. Sales. Stringer generated three very hire-able finalists for the job and we were able to close on our number one choice. All of the finalists were spot on in terms of the desired spec.

Bill Wood, Managing Director, Silverton Partners

Stringer Executive Search identified and help retain experienced high performing executive talent for several key positions. The quality of the resources identified within our specific industry knowledge base and skill set exceed all of my expectations. Working with SES enabled us to achieve our aggressive payment industry growth objectives.

Jack Jania, SVP Global Strategic Partnerships, Gemalto Inc.

I engaged Stringer to help us fill a critical executive role shortly after launching our company and securing our first round of financing. They were up front about fees and expectations and the search process was very efficient. As a busy founder/CEO, using Stringer gave me the confidence we would find the best candidate while allowing me to focus on building the business.

Brandon Stewart, CEO, Outbound Engine

It was a pleasure to work with Hank and the Stringer Executive Search team. The process was professional and the candidate selection outstanding. I would engage again and happy to refer this valuable resource.

Gary L. Nelson, Chairman, Akami Technology

Stringer was extremely creative, resourceful and tenacious in finding an outstanding VP Sales for us. They listen well, think big and keep following through until the person is in the seat!

Duncan Van Dusen, Board Member, Tango Health

Stringer has been a tremendous asset to Main Street Hub. Their experience building teams and deep knowledge of the technology community in Austin were of great value to us in identifying and connecting with an individual who is now a key member of our team. I look forward to working with Stringer in the future, and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Andrew Allison, CEO, Main Street Hub

What can I say about Hank??!! Besides the fact that Hank is a guru in the world of leading edge recruitment, he also stays true to his craft and takes on searches for companies. Hank helped us out at Apollo Group with a number of VP level positions that we were looking to fill. Hank’s networks run deep and not only did we fill positions with Hank’s candidates, he brought us other talent that we didn’t know we needed but ended up hiring! Hank is a true business partner and I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Shelley Zajic, VP of Human Resources, Apollo Group

Hank is the consummate search professional. I have used his services to locate technology leadership positions and people over the past 20 years and can highly recommend his firm.

Marty Sayer, Chief Strategy Officer, AMD

I recently worked with Mike Mayeux on a challenging search to fill six slots with a very specific type of candidate. Mike did all the heavy lifting in the search process so that every candidate that got to me was well vetted and knew the important things about what I was trying to accomplish. That allowed me to put all my focus on whether each candidate was a fit for my specific needs. I got weekly updates from Mike on the numbers of new candidates screened and where everyone was in the pipeline. We filled all six slots on schedule with quality candidates and the whole engagement was a great experience with good communication, responsiveness, and follow-through!

HOW WE WORK

STRINGER EXECUTIVE SEARCH is a different kind of recruiting and executive search firm. We are changing the way search firms work by implementing a more streamlined, productive, and cost effective way to help you hire the right qualified candidates to fill openings on your team.

OUR SERVICES

We are first and foremost an executive search firm that will help you fill open positions with the right qualified candidates faster and more efficiently than any other alternative including well-known search firms and internet job sites.

Sourcing

Sourcing high-value candidates should be a never-ending process for successful managers. We can help you find and source the best candidates for your open positions.

Screening

A quality screening process is critical to business success. Many search firms claim to be dedicated to screening candidates thoroughly.

See the testimonials from our happy customers.
